Regional Building Excellence Awards

 

Each year the Partnership holds its Building Excellence Award, which recognises imaginative design and quality workmanship. It is intended that the scheme will look at the overall construction package from design concept through to completion of the development. The scheme is divided into a number of categories so that all types of development are eligible for nomination.

 

The categories are:

 

·                     Best domestic conversion or extension

·                     Best housing - small developer or development, for example 1-10 units

·                     Best housing - large developer or development, for example 11+ units

·                     Best social or affordable housing development

·                     Best community building

·                     Best educational building 

·                     Best commercial building less that £1,000,000

·                     Best commercial building more than £1,000,000 

·                     Best sustainable project

·                     Best technical innovation

 

The only requirement is that the development must have been completed between 1 June and 31 May two years prior to the event. This allows the building to weather and landscaping to mature before judging takes place.

 

Anyone can nominate a development after it has been completed and we will hold the application over until the appropriate judging year.

 

Applications should be received by the end of May, in any year. Judging usually takes place in July, with the Award presentations in September; however, this can vary slightly.  Downloadable application forms are available from the downloadable forms and leaflets area.
